Why can't you behave? Why can't you be good?You don't even try to do the things you should.What is the reason, I'd like to know,Why you can't be good.

You go into the bedroom,You say you got to powder your noseBut the powder is cocaine,I see traces on your clothes.What is the reason, I'd like to know,Why you can't be good.

Take another look inside your dreams tonight when you goTo sleepTry and find the reason why you've lost your way, likeSome little sheep.

You say that you love meAnd that your heart is trueBut you got so many other lovesOh what am I supposed to do?What is the reason, I'd like to know,What is the reason, I'd like to know,What is the reason, I'd like to know,Why you can't be good.
